Americablog: Question: Have you considered leaving America for good, now or in the future?

I have a number of friends and acquaintances who, for the first time, have recently considered leaving the US for good. I'm not saying they've decided to do so, but they've considered it, and are keeping that consideration in the back of their mind for a rainy day, should the political/cultural situation worsen in this country and/or should they lose more respect for what this country is becoming and/or has become.

So my question to you, seriously, is have you in the past few years given thought to the possibility of leaving the US for good? And if so, is this a new feeling, or have you always felt this way? And finally, if so, why?
